Also, nobody saw Sherlock last night? That was SO much fun, and I love Mary and how she interacts with the boys.
Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
I was quite worried about Mary, as a character. I was less worried when I found out Amanda was playing her. I liked her in Empty Hearse, but I love her relationships with both of them in So3.
I will need to get the soundtrack. I have sheet music for the waltz, but I don't have it in my ear well enough (the curse of Suzuki).
I think having the three writers divide up the sections of the episode worked really well.
LOVED the ep, love Mary--she's smart! And fun. And brave and game. And I loved the bit in the aftershow when Martin Freeman talked about how nice it was having his "Missus" be there as part of the show.
The intertwining mysteries/speech/wedding planning was a totally delicious mix.
I loved her double-thumbs up to Sherlock and John when she talked each of them into getting the other out on a case.
I love how this Mary is as carefully woven into this update as both Sherlock and John are - she seems to fit quite well Conan Doyle's Mary Morstan in the Sign of Four as Holmes' described her: someone who has a "decided genius" for his work, whom he regretted had chosen to marry rather than work with him.
Sherlock wrote a waltz for them! That killed me, even more than his toast.
Again, with the Blacklist and the stretching the bounds of believability. You cannot tell me that a division leader would leave his badge that accesses classified information in his briefcase in his office, especially after there had just been an internal security threat. Also, if a file is classified, you can't just "copy" it.
And, on a DMV sidenote - if you're going to mock up a license plate, please make sure that it conforms to the actual state (Va does ABC 1234) instead of just slapping "Virginia" onto the random California plate that you have in props. Last, but not least, there is no way in hell a second year student would get parking on Georgetown's campus.
James Spader's voice is barely keeping me tethered at this point. Just barely.
I missed the very beginning. How DID the sedated woman come to and escape? And if they keep them knocked out all the time how did she know about her babies?
And just for the record, if baby farmers are ever coming to kidnap me, the Sooper Agents don't need tell me personally that there is a problem. Send a local LEO. Call ahead and send a campus cop to keep me company until you show. Tell my stinkin' professor to keep me there for ten minutes. For the love of Mike...

The writers missed that part too.
I suspected as much.
